THONET bar stool • S 661 H programme
With the reintroduction of the S 661, THONET is relaunching an award-winning design by Günter Eberle from the early nineteen-fifties in numerous versions. Thanks to its versatility and its efficient use of material, this all-rounder works in the dining area and the kitchen, in the living room or the home office just as well as in public spaces such as restaurants or waiting areas. Its moulded-wood seat shell lives off the beauty of the natural material and is a pleasure in elegant walnut, warm-toned oak, and beech natural or stained. The tubular steel frame is either chrome-plated or powder-coated. The grained wood surface and the soft curves make the S 661 feel homely despite its formal reduction and minimal use of material, and give it a particular presence in the room. The S 661 combines clear lines with a precise contour. The material combination of moulded wood and tubular steel is typical of Thonet. The programme is extended by the swivel-chair versions S 661 Atelier (DR) and the S 661 H bar stools.
The THONET S 661 H bar stool transfers the moulded-wood shell of the chair to a high four-leg frame in tubular steel. The frame is chrome-plated or powder-coated according to the Thonet collection; the shell is executed in stained beech and is available at extra cost in clear-lacquered or black-stained oak as well as in walnut. Two versions are available: unupholstered or with a fully upholstered seat. The seat height is 75 or 76 cm respectively. Plastic glides are included in the delivery, felt glides are available at extra cost. The design was awarded a silver medal at the 1954 Milan Triennale and received the „Die gute Industrieform“ prize in the same year.
